Burning Skies Saloon
BdrLineAzn:
--Docks--
*To Zill*
Wow, Zill who would have thought Jun'ko *laughs* Good thing i know her as a family friend, be too akward. Well i off to bed, see ya in the morning
*Bdr goes over to the crates, jumps on them, and lays in a sleeping position*
Yiski:
-Saloon-
*Yiski hears Tim's request and hands him a clean rag*
I swear, you hardly ever visit and when you do you're always doin' work. Can't you usually take care of this on your ship?
*Yiski walks up to the window and sees the storm has gotten worse*
By the skies, Nature's sure pissed at us alright.
*Yiski could feel a freezing breeze caused by the strong winds outside*
Shit, forgot the Frost Winds from the Firnfeld are comin' in. Last thing we need is Anvala turnin' into a giant ice cube.
--NARRATOR--
As the storm rages forth, many of the patrons were hesitant to enter into Nature's wrath. Most left to brave the storm, mostly because staying at the saloon past closing would was more of a risk.
At the Docks, Zill, BdrLine, and Jun'ko covered themselves up the best they could against the frozen air blasting into the Docks. Jun'ko smiles as she falls asleep in the Admiral's quarters. BdrLine makes camp next to the engines, keeping a few flammables a bit too close to him.
Before falling asleep, Zill still debates whether he should go join Jun'ko. Ultimately, he decides against it based on principle and a good sense of self-preservation.
Captain Timothy grabs his belongings and stuffs them into his overcoat and heads out. Despite the wind blowing against him, it doesn't seem to effect him.
Shink, realizing the cold air is fast moving in, bolts down the road to the closest inn. By the time he reaches it, there are icicles forming all around his body.
Roland was fast asleep in the spare room. His dreams were about his mother and father. More importantly, they were about how to approach Yiski on the subject.
Ny-Lee makes herself comfortable in Yiski's room. She gives a chuckle of how relatively clean his room is compared to the saloon. The only place where Yiski keeps spotless is the area around his stills. Eventually, Ny-Lee settles into bed and falls fast asleep.
Yiski tosses a few blankets and a pillow on top of the couch. Before settling down, he takes another look out the window. Storm's still steady and it was getting colder. He sighs and heads for the couch and lays down. Before falling asleep, Yiski thinks.
Tomorrow's gonna be bad.

--END OF DAY 30--
Yiski:
--START OF DAY 31--
--NARRATOR--
The sun peaked over the storm clouds of last night. But the sun was of little comfort to the havoc caused last night and being assessed this morning. To start, the levy which holds much of Anvala's mountain water was severely damaged to the point where those living in the Garden (Northern) District had to be forced to evacuate. Second problem the storm caused was at the Docks. Despite progress of getting the Docks up and fully functional, the heavy icy winds with monsoon rains caused massive sheets of ice to be formed through out the Docks. Massive icicles larger than a human formed over the openings. Repair progress would have to be on hold until all the ice was clear, an all-day affair.
Back at the saloon, Ny-Lee woke up and wondered if Roland and Yiski were already awake. When we walked out from the back, she saw Yiski up. Yiski sees her.
I see you're up early as usual.
I am. Is Roland not awake yet? I thought I would see him down already.
Heh... whenever Roland has any alcohol, he'll be out for the good part of the day. Seeing as how I made him drink something with Hellfire alcohol content, I don't suspect him gettin' up soon.
Ny-Lee watched Yiski walk up to what she believed were heat lamps. As much of a bad idea it was to keep any heat source in the saloon, due to Anvala's location on a mountain side and proximity to the Firnfeld, it was the difference between freezing to death or being blown up. In Yiski's mind the thought of blowing up was a quicker way to die than freezing. Yiski turned back to Ny-Lee.
You wouldn't mind waking up Roland for me would you? Can't seem to get these heaters to run.
Ny-Lee accepted the request and went upstairs to the spare room. She first knocked on the door to see if Roland was awake... no answer. She knocked a few more times until she decided it was useless and decided to open he door. Luckily, it was unlock and see walked in. She spotted Roland sprawled out on the bed with the covers in a mess. She gave a light chuckle before calling out his name.
Roland.... Roland you need to wake up now. Yiski said he needed your help.
The only response was a mumble and a slight shift in position. Back home when BdrLineAzn was still there, if she'd caught him not waking up, she'd get a bucket of ice water and pour it over his head and body. While the thought did cross her mind, Ny-Lee wouldn't do that to Roland.
Ny-Lee finally decided to approach Roland and give him a few nudges in order to wake him all the while telling him to get up.
Roland.... Roland you need to wake up n....!!
Suddenly, Roland grabbed on to Ny-Lee's hand and pulled her down into bed with him. This sudden event caught Ny-Lee off guard as she found herself just a short inch away from his face. The sudden closeness of her face to his also started causing her to blush a bit. Ny-Lee attempted to wake Roland up still.
Roland! Please wake up!
Fortunately, this time Roland opened his eyes, but it was obvious he was still out of it. What happens next could be considered comedy gold.
Good. You're awake. Now if you don't mind letting me go.....
Ny-Lee found herself interrupted again, but not because Roland fell back asleep. Quite the opposite, the only reason why Ny-Lee couldn't talk was because she found herself kissing Roland. This set a whole line of questions and thoughts racing through her mind making her unable to pull away.
The kiss lasted what Ny-Lee could tell were minutes. When the kiss finally did break, her slight tinge of red went full Dragon Pepper red. Despite not being lip-locked with Roland, she still couldn't manage any words.
Roland managed a yawn and it took a few minutes for him to begin registering the events. For all he knew, it was a dream.
Hmm... that was a nice dream. Wait...
When it finally dawn on him what he did, he joined Ny-Lee in silence and became just as red as her.
Oh... um... Good morning Ny-Lee?
Roland's words knocked Ny-Lee out of her daze causing her to gasp and shuffle out of the bed, causing her to fall. The two just sat there staring at each other for a bit. Finally, Roland broke the silence, but stumbled over his words.
I am terribly sorry.... I... I...
I know you didn't do that on purpose.... Anyways, Yiski needs your help downstairs.
Roland nodded and got up. He didn't need to change since last night's event caused him to pass out without changing. The two left and made their way to the stair. Both were still sporting heavy blushes.
Huh... should we discuss this matter or...
I'd rather not want to discuss it right now.
I'll second that.
When the two get downstairs, Yiski sees the both of them and tilts his head, noting their redness.
What's up with you too? Looks like you've got stars in each of your eyes. What happened?
The two simultaneously blurted out.
Nothing!
Nothing!
They looked at each other and chuckled. All the while Yiski was confused as hell.
Even if today was going to be bad, it was sure as hell going to be interesting.

Qwerty Kun:
*Morning saw Qwerty in the Anvala hospital, not as a patient but as head doctor. The nights storm and evacuation of the garden district had seen countless injuries, ranging from frostbite from the cold, to breaks, cuts and impalings from collapsing buildings and flying shards of ice. Qwerty was a blur throughout the hospital, treating wounds deemed fatal running from one room to the next. Not a word was said, Qwerty would enter the room, solve the problem and leave, the staff stunned and awestruck.
A crier passed through town, stopping at ever door and informing the people within to take any injuries to the hospital, that they had a disaster specialist ready to treat any injuries. Under special instruction, this crier slides a note under The Burning Skies's door. The note simply read;
'Is everyone allright?'
